Dr. Gary Hatlen has dedicated his life to advancing health and wellness through innovative chiropractic care and cutting-edge techniques. He began his academic journey at Montana State University studying Architecture, before shifting focus to the sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater (physics, chemistry, biology). He graduated Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa in 1988 and has been practicing in Phoenix since 1989.
A 1993 post-graduate neurology course ignited his passion for studying the brain and nervous system, leading to certifications in Chiropractic Neurology (CCN) and Postural Neurology (CPN).
Dr. Hatlen is the formulator of the Rapid Relief and Recovery Protocol — a system of care that accelerates healing and pain relief — and the developer of the Brain Body Balance Blueprint, which restores balance to the body's bioelectrical, biochemical, and biomechanical systems through the five essentials of health: innervation, oxygenation, hydration, nutrition, and detoxification.
He is the founder of the Brain Spine Posture Academy, with programs to improve posture, mobility, strength, stability, flexibility, and balance, and he formed Wheely Good Posture, LLC to design exercise equipment for the Academy. His Metabolic Reset and Weight Loss Protocol has helped patients lose 20–35 pounds in six weeks while resetting their metabolism.
Inspired by his mother's battle with Alzheimer's, Dr. Hatlen is deeply committed to brain health, helping patients optimize brain function through neurological activation, nutrition, and detoxification. He has also developed a series of educational animations to teach the role of the nervous system in health and longevity.
